Understanding CBT-E

Enhanced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT-E) is an evidence-based approach tailored specifically for eating disorders and body image distress. Instead of only talking through feelings, CBT-E zeroes in on the thoughts and behaviors that maintain unhealthy eating and body dissatisfaction, teaching you practical skills to restructure those patterns and build lasting self-acceptance.
